1 Corinthians 10:13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Everyone needs to be familiar with this verse. We all have come into contact with times of great trials which can be comforted and encouraged by its truth. Have you ever felt like or said: “No one knows how I feel.” or “Nobody has ever gone through what I’m going through?” Most people have. Ecclesiastes 1:9b, “…and there is no new thing under the sun.” Christians are reassured we will not have to endure anything that is not common to the human experience. In the midst of our trials. We are reminded of the Lord’s faithfulness. 2 Thessalonians 3:3, “But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.” God is in complete control over all situations. If someone falls into temptation and gives in. It was not because the Lord did not give him the strength to overcome. It means the Lord’s guidance and strength were ignored. The Lord does not remove the temptation, He makes a way of escape for us. Trials and temptations can be used by the Lord to strengthen, guide, and prepare us for future service, or draw us closer to Him. There are so many life lessons that come to us through the trials we face. James 1:13, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” No temptation to sin ever comes from the Lord. Trials to strengthen our faith comes from the Lord. Trials to sin come from Satan. If you are tempted by trials to sin, come join us at Faith Baptist Church.
